This presentation will provide an introduction to scale-out-file systems and cover: general principles when architecting a scale-out file system storage solution; hardware and software design considerations for different workloads; storage challenges when serving a large number of compute nodes, e.g. name space consistency, distributed locking, data replication, etc.; use cases for scale-out file systems; and, common benchmark and performance analysis approaches

Join us for the inaugural PM Programming Hackathon on the day before the Persistent Memory Summit, January 23rd 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. This half-day program is designed to give software developers an understanding of the various tiers and modes of persistent memory and what existing methods are available to access them.

The 17th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '19) brings together storage-system researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of storage systems. The program includes three days of technical sessions, Work-in-Progress reports (WiPs), a poster session, and Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs).

Don’t miss the SNIA Computational Storage Birds-of-a-Feather led by SNIA Technical Council Co-Chair Bill Martin at FAST.

The Center for Memory and Recording Research, and the Non-Volatile Systems Laboratory host the Non-Volatile Memories Workshop to bring together scientists and engineers from industry and academia who are working on advanced non-volatile storage devices and systems.

SNIA will host the 2^nd  Persistent Memory Programming Tutorial and Hackathon at NVMW on Sunday March 10 from 2:00 pm – 5:30 pm.  This event is open to all registered attendees at NVMW. Early registration closes February 28.

Your technology-driven objectives, be they single area or process changes, large-scale digital transformation plans or anywhere in between will be able to be deployed faster and with greater peace of mind after a visit to Cloud Expo Europe.

The annual Summit brings together more than 3,400 key decision makers, executives, engineers, developers and suppliers. Together, they help grow, drive and support the open hardware ecosystem in, near and around the datacenter and beyond.

To help speed your Swordfish development efforts, SNIA has produced open source storage management tools available now on GitHub for your use. Join this session for an overview of these open source tools.

Kubernetes (k8s) is an open-source system for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This webcast will introduce Kubernetes and present use cases that make clear where and why you would want to use it in your IT environment. We’ll also focus on the enterprise requirements of orchestration and containerization, and specifically on the storage aspects and best practices.
